(TL;DR What's the height from mobo to the top of an AM4 processor).

I've started to make a 3d model of a potential mITX build in the future when I have money for that kinda thing, but I've been stumped in finding any information on any dimensions of the AM4 socket. Finding the dimensions of the AM3 socket takes about 5 seconds of googling, but there's no info on AM4 (it seems to be thinner, but I don't know by how much). The dimensions of the actual CPU from top to bottom and its width/height is the same as previous models.

 

The reason I need the height is because I want to know what the tallest/biggest cooler I can fit will be (case will be fairly small), but without knowing even roughly how tall the total package is I have no idea other than somewhere between 35 and 40mm (the leeway is from a couple mm of space to allow airflow, and I could optimize it with solid numbers). If someone has an unpopulated AM4 board or a half finished build without a cooler attached (and a pair of calipers), I'd be really happy if I could get some dimensions. Here's a diagram showing the helpful ones:

I only need the AB length because the CPU height (without pins) should still be 4.5mm (same as previous generations), so if you get the height from mobo to the actual socket, or just the entire thing I will be very grateful. The other dimensions would also be cool to have, but really I can figure the rest out by guessing.

Thanks in advance.
